Pro tip – Taste and adjust sweetness and consistency. You can add more pineapples or coconut milk to your taste. To steam, place a small plate upside down in a large saucepan. Place the pudding on top of the plate and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover with a lid and simmer for 4 hours, topping up the water as needed using boiling water. Carefully remove the pudding from the pan and leave to cool completely before replacing the foil and baking paper with fresh layers. Store in a dark cool place until Christmas, steaming as before for about 2 hours until piping hot. Warming milk takes patience and constant attention. Heat it gently and just enough so that it is steaming. Stir it continually and avoid boiling. If your milk ends up too hot and begins to curdle, the taste will be off, so it's often best to begin again. If freezing, we do not recommend freezing them in a glass bottle, instead transfer the kremas to a freezer safe container.The kremas will last about 1 year in the freezer and longer in the deep freezer.
